:shrug: Nothing is perfect. Mind magic may be tricky even for beings as powerful as the Evanuris. Vassalin may only have been used to make them suggestible, rather than outright control? Like only mildly indoctrinating someone could kep people useful to the Reapers rather than turning them into drooling wrecks. Alternatively, Solas and Mythal could have found some way to sabotage such control. OTOH, I'm not clear why Solas wouldn't have flatly stated that this was the real function of vallaslin. Why would mythal she utilizes them like the rest of the evanuris.

Man, I really need to go back to reading/watching more Dragon Age lore videos . I've only got a grasp of each of the terms used here (like the Evanuris being the old elven gods) Or... you could begin another playthrough of the series from the start with brand-new characters and enjoy the lore again first-hand. #AnyExcuse

Why would mythal she utilizes them like the rest of the evanuris. She may have been "the best of them" but she was still Evanuris. Besides which, we don't know why the rest of them killed her. Maybe use of vallaslin had something to do with it?

Because Solas always tells the whole truth? Point taken; he is blatantly lying during that convo about several things. But I don't see his motivation for making that earlier elven society sound better than it was.

That’s something certainly true. Howewer, at the same time, it’s pretty clear how low his opinion of the Evanuris is, and he makes clear to the Inquisitor of their tyrannical nature and their nefarious actions.

It's not like his plan is to bring the Evanuris back. Although it's not quite clear what he intends to do about them, he insists he's got a plan.
Of course, he had a plan for the orb too....

He's trying to bring that society back, just without the Evanuris. He's actually not too different from Vivienne in motivation, if not method.

Hmm. Something that just occurred to me is that I'd like if the next game does a bit more to linger on the "good" days. The ones where you've done everything you could for the moment, and there's nothing better to do than lean back and recuperate for a while, and spend time with your friends.
All those lovely moments with your companions in Trespasser momentarily feels a bit like that, as does some of the less serious companion quests. The problem is that there's no point in the game where it feels justifiable for the Inquisitor to take a breather and just hang out. The next enormous disaster is always obviously and explicitly imminent and wasting time instead of moving to address it is pretty inexcusable.
The one point in the game where really letting your hair down and having a blast with your companions for a few days makes perfect sense, after sealing the Breach with help from the mages or the templars before having any notion of who was behind it or exactly where to start looking for them, is immediately cut short by Coryphewhatshisface invading Haven and instantiating the next part of the plot.
Wasted opportunity for lovely and touching companion moments while glorying in your achievements. Bad move on Bioware's part.
It's one of the things that other game series just do better and more organically. Sprinkling gritty and breakneck storylines with moments or entire periods where there's literally nothing more sensible to do except sit down and have a good time with the people you have left without having reason to feel guilty about it. The party after Sean's rescue in RDR2, drinking and games with your buddies at Kaer Morhen in the Witcher, various moments of things going well and being under control in the Walking Dead and Last Of Us...
A dark and gritty story is brilliant, but that also just makes the few good and peaceful days all the sweeter and more refreshing and hard-won, making it a waste not to include any in the game at all. ME3 tried to make the effort, and the Citadel DLC went a little too far trying to force it, but the world is always just about to goddamn end in these games, which is stupid.
*is having a good day and is mildly annoyed that there isn't a single truly tension-free moment in Inquisition to look forward to until Trespasser*

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with some sort of Gambit Pileup. Solas' plan, the Inquisition's plan, and the qunari and Maker knows who else's plans all intersect badly, and the end result is the Evanuris being just plain loose. OTOH, this is kind of how DAI started, and Bio may not want to go there again.

If I can’t free them i suppose i’ll Settle for them being able to torture the swine for eternity. Because freeing a group of power-mad extradimensional mages with godlike powers is surely the right thing to do and a good idea in general...
(What I really thought when reading this: "Has wright1978 gone completely mad?")
Also, I find your kind of vindictiveness odd. As I see it, Solas' plan points to nothing more but an irreconcileable conflict of interests. Neither restoring the old world nor saving the current one is intrinsically better than the other. I guess most of us have a stake in the current one so we want to prevent him from succeeding, but I have a hard time seeing Solas as a villain. An antagonist, yes, but not a villain. And whatever your opinion of his plans, freeing the Evanuris is a mad idea in either case.

And of course, throwing the guy who knows everything about the terms and mechanics of their imprisonment in with them is the perfect second option. I hope the quest to stop him doesn't just devolve into a mess of dimension-hoppping and closing off alternate universes or time travel, the direction Inquisition took things a step or two in. Dragon Age hasn't otherwise been grounded enough to make stories like that feel very meaningful for a long time, in my opinion.

I just rebel very firmly against bioware's simplistic message that they are mad evil slavers, especially when the seller of that message is responsible for destroying so many lives and the old world. I find solas interesting but he is a villain( the person or thing responsible for specified problems, harm, or damage) . The evanuris are the victims of Solas and they are the gods of his dead victims, hardly vindictive for him to be punished by them for his crimes.

I, as well, want less fantasy in my fantasy. Yup, because as soon as you accept some surrealistic concepts as part of a premise, all bets are necessarily off. That's totally how empathy and suspension of disbelief work. Chaotic and convoluted and outlandish stories without coherent themes definitely don't tend to bore and confuse people. Can I ask why you want to play an adult roleplaying game instead of just watching children's cartoons? There's all the "fantasy" and positive messaging you could ever want, often completely unmoored from reality just the way you seem to like it. My assumption would be that you want to enjoy stories about adults you can empathize with in situations you can empathize with, and be able to express worldviews you can empathize with in dramatic circumstances just like everybody else. But for whatever reason those doesn't sound like priorities to you. Or if so you certainly don't seem to care about anyone else being able to enjoy the game along with you.

Given that she and Solas are both pretty arrogant, manipulative, dishonest people, the possibility that the others are anything like them is a good enough reason to want them locked away. Speaking as a player, I would prefer them to be exactly the danger he describes. I want a radical change to the face of Thedas, not a debate.

That's totally how empathy and suspension of disbelief work. Chaotic and convoluted and outlandish stories without coherent themes definitely don't tend to bore and confuse people. Dragon Age is extremely straightforward, and covers extremely familiar territory for fantasy fans, so I don't understand where this criticism is coming from. I think your concern about the direction of the series is, at best, misplaced. Personally, I could have stood for Thedas to be a lot weirder from the beginning. I think it is only just starting to get interesting. I actively seek out fantasy with the most outlandish, fantastical worlds I can find. I do watch many cartoons aimed at children, and play games aimed at children too. And read their books. It's clear that you don't, however. Or think you don't, at least. Sure, but apparently unlike you, I am perfectly capable of empathizing with child characters. They are, after all, still written by adults. I don't care about the intended audience for a product, or the age of the protagonists at all. I consider the distinction between "adult" and "child" media to be completely arbitrary. Useful for marketing departments maybe, but not anyone else. What usually motivates me to pick up a book, film or video game is a fantastical world concept that draws me in with its originality. Dragon Age: Origins, being set in a stock-standard pseudo-Britain, populated by many tropes that I actively hate, slipped completely under my radar for years, and I would never have found it, except that while I was in university I went out of my way to find out if there were any mainstream video games with gay romance. Prior to that, my only experience with BioWare was a demo for Baldur's Gate 2 that I got with the dvd of the Dungeons & Dragons movie, and at the time the combat mechanics were too difficult for me to enjoy it, or to care who developed it. As for whether or not anyone else enjoys a game, you're right, I don't care at all. I already know that my tastes differ strongly from many peoples', especially here on this forum, where there is a strong bias towards traditional design in almost every possible way. Except when it comes to the villain, apparently. Lol.

Personally, I could have stood for Thedas to be a lot weirder from the beginning. I think it is only just starting to get interesting. I actively seek out fantasy with the most outlandish, fantastical worlds I can find. I actually agree, but you did say, on the other hand: "I, as well, want less fantasy in my fantasy." Obviously you don't see a contradiction in that, so what did you want to say with that statement?
